    Cleveland Metroparks will open Royalview Trail,
     a new natural surface trail,  in Mill Stream Run
    Reservation in Strongsville.  A short press conference will be
    held on Friday, June 15 at 2 p.m. with a ceremonial first ride to
    follow. The 10.1-mile trail network will accommodate mountain bikes
    and hikers on a �single track� trail that winds throughout a wooded
    area near Royalview Picnic Area and includes two boardwalks,
    covering more than 900 feet combined, and 34 bridges. 



    The trail cost about $50,000 and took nine months to build with
    the help of the Student Conservation Association, in-house staff
    and more than 100 dedicated volunteers that donated 1,870 hours of
    their time.



    �The Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association rallied their
    members to help build this trail for the community to enjoy,� said
    Cleveland Metroparks Executive Director Brian Zimmerman. 
    �Trails are a significant resource for our park visitors.  In
    a recent survey, nearly three quarters reported walking or hiking
    in Cleveland Metroparks and almost a third said biking was their
    primary activity.�



    The Royalview Trail is the second trail built for use by
    mountain bikers. The first was built in Ohio & Erie Canal
    Reservation in 2007 and is 2.5 miles in length.
